For this project, I did a research project on Beyoncé. The purpose of this assignment was to analyze the life and influence of a public figure. Throughout this process, I created a presentation that included a biography, an impact statement, a collection of images and quotes, and a personal reflection. I had to gather reliable information, putting it into my own words, and designing slides that were and easy to understand. This project improved my ability to communicate information in a way that is organized, engaging, and easy for others to understand. Overall, this project taught me that success takes time, consistency, and a lot of effort behind the scenes.
Literature and Composition
In Literature and Composition, I wrote an essay analyzing Sundiata: An Epic of Old Mali and explained why Sundiata is a heroic figure. In my essay, I discussed how Sundiata showed bravery, determination, and perseverance throughout his life, especially during his exile and his final battle against the sorcerer king, Soumaoro. I also explained how his strength and determination as a child showed his potential to become a great leader. This assignment helped me practice literary analysis by using examples from the text to support my ideas about heroism.
